How to get back to you ex?

before you get back with your ex you may want to check on my video on whether or not you should get back with your ex. If you decide that you want to then a good way to go about it is to start as friends first, that will help you develop the kinship that you need to start over.

umm is it true you banged gwen stefani the other day?

no it isn't, but if that rumor is spreading then keep it going.

Hi Josh, Thanks to your advice I have started talking with my crush.Unfortunately, I am not talking with her 1-1 because her bf is always there.We have hung out after school and they have asked me if I want to do it again sometime.I do want to hang out, but with my crush 1on1, not with her bf. Thx

Well, one truth that you may have to accept is that she has a boyfriend so you have to respect that that's their relationship. You hanging out with them might only be pushing you further into the friend zone. I would suggest only hanging out in big groups with them or with a few friends, being the 3rd wheel will start to sink in their heads that you're a friend to both of them, rather than a potential guy she may want to talk to if things don't work out with her and her boyfriend.

Does a guy have to shave his armpits?

No, a guy doesn't have to if he doesn't want to. No one has to shave, we usually do it sometimes for sports but otherwise a no one really ever has to shave when you think about it.

So im in middle school and this girl liked me in sixth grade but i was too shy to respond any of her actions even though i was interested but in someone else. Now i really like her in eighth grade but idk if she still likes me and im less now but still too shy to talk to her. What do i do? Thanks!

Hey, even though she liked you two years ago I wouldn't take that as a sign that she still likes you now. I would treat it as if you're starting fresh with her, it'll make things easier and if her old feelings resurface you'll see it first hand. When it comes to being shy what I would say is try to start simple by saying hey to her when you see her. If you feel confident enough to approach her at some point you can always say "hey, I feel like over the years we've never really spoken to each other. what's going on"?

How to end a date politely if you have to run somewhere and you just have to end it immidiately?

There's no easy way to end it but if you intend on seeing the person again I would make plans for the second date before you end the first so it doesn't look like you're leaving because you're uninterested.

So I recently just got my first girlfriend and I was wondering what I can do to Try to be a good boyfriend to her.

That's awesome to hear, a great way to be a caring and attentive boyfriend is to focus on getting to know your girlfriend better as the relationship progresses and by being honest about your feelings. Opening up the doorway to trust and honesty will help you guys keep the relationship fresh as years to come.

Josh how can you ultimately find out how to make a girl laugh and then do it? Is there a sign or should I flat out ask her?

One easy way to lead into her laughing is by teasing her. Whenever a person feels that slight resistance it will usually get them to push back a little just because of the dynamics of human interaction. If you can joke with her and tease her, then leading into asking her out will come off more like you have something to offer and it will be fun.

What are your priorities?

Family and friends tends to come first. From there I would say my job and growing The Josh Speaks. I'm trying to optimize the other parts of my life such as what I eat, what I wear and daily tasks like showering, etc into a system so that I can make the most use of my time. I cut out watching a lot of TV shows because I'd rather spend my time making things than consuming them at this stage of my life.

My best friend told me he likes me. I like him too. The thing is that things are going too fast right now. We are really close and I don't won't to get hurt or lose him. What should I do?

In a case like that it's best to be open about the speed at which you're moving. If you move your feelings too fast you may feel overwhelmed and that won't help anyone. Be vocal about how you feel and sticks to your own gut on how far you take it and at what speed.

I asked my dad for an iPhone 6S and he said yes but it's up to my mom. I asked my mom and she said no. I get good grades and do my chores. Please help!! Btw, I watch a lot of ur vids:)

Hey, I know it sucks that you want the new iPhone but it ultimately comes down your parents decision. If your mom doesn't feel like you guys should get it right now then maybe the best thing to do is to talk to her about it and how you feel. She may feel like you may lose it, you may be on it too much or that it might get stolen. There's a lot of reasons why she may have said no and the most important thing is to understand where she's coming from.

My ex and one of my best friends are friends. It kinda bothers me, but my ex says hi to me and plays the way she played with me before on my friend

Hmm it sounds like they may be trying to make you jealous. I think in a situation like this it might make sense to talk to your friend and express how you feel about the whole situation. That might help your friend recognize what may be going on and they may not participate in that type of interacting anymore.

Do you know some good conversation starters (and maybe even some ones to keep the conversation going)?

Hey, I made a video called 5 ways to keep a conversation going which might be helpful. One good thing to ask someone is "so tell me about yourself, what's your passion in life?". if you can get a person to start talking about something that interests them then you can dig deeper into that.

What's your morning routine?

Put on socks and pants, pee, brush my teeth, comb my hair, put in deodorant, put on my shirt, prepare my oatmeal and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, grab a banana, my lunch bag and my book then head for work.

How do I get people to stop punking me around? I've worn a hat for a while now and my friends always have the habit of taking it off and wearing it without permission. They usually put it back on my head, but they purposely put it on my head terribly. They're my friends not bullies just to remind u

Hmm that sounds like something that may require you talking to them one on one privately. Tell them it really bothers you and you wanted to talk to them privately about it. Hopefully from being direct they will stand up with you against the rest of the group and stop doing it.

What I've learned about being in front of people (let's say a presentation) is to not be ashamed of messing up. Is this a real strategy? If it is, can it work on people (like my crush)?

Absolutely, when you let go of all your expectations all you're left with is the room to discover and test stuff out. If you carry a confident attitude in what you do, the other person will trust your confidence because you feel so strongly about how you're acting.

What do you think of having a ballbusting fetish? Is this normal at all?

Fetishes may seem odd to the outside world but they are perfectly normal to have and feel attracted to. When it comes to fetishes, the most important thing is to make sure everyone on board knows what's happening and nothing is being done that may cause permanent harm to the other person.

How can you tell when a girl is comfortable talking to you or just being around you?

I go more into this in my 5 signs a girl Liles you video but it all comes down to her opening up about herself and not being afraid to express how she's feeling or thinking.

How can you tell if a girl wants to settle down with a guy rather than dating a bunch of guys, or is there like a certain age when they begin to do that? Idk anymore cause I can't tell if my crush wants to do one or the other.

If by settle down you mean become boyfriend and girlfriend then that's something she may want early on. If she feels special feelings about you, she may want to grow those feelings with you which would require more time to get to know you. Being bf and gf means investing that time in one another exclusively.

How my sociel anxiety faded; I quite my excuses and took action.I approached my fears which was talking to people,joining new groups after that i felt on top of the world and it was way easyer done then sayed.I was amazes.This became a mew me/habbit.I'm now able to approach anyone.Breathing helped m

Thats amazing to hear, I'm incredibly proud of you and I hope that things continue to work out very well!

What's a good way to deal with regret? I always look back at times when people would open up to me and invite me to birthday parties while I just wouldn't show up. Then again I'm always the one to be depressed about not having that many friends.... Man, I wish I had a time machine

I know exactly how you feel, it can be frustrating sometimes to look back at the situation and think about what you would have done. However what you do have complete control over is what you do going forward. If you feel like in the past you've said no to birthday parties and regretted them then make sure that the next birthday party get invited to you say yes immediately to. Use your past as a way to understand how you can work towards making your future the future that you want to have.

I was planning to go out with my crush and some of our buddies to bowling sometime but today I found out that a girl mate of ours went out with my crush doing the same thing last night! How much time should I let go before making my move with my group and her?

if she just recently went bowling then chances are the allure of bowling won't be there again. I would suggest picking a different date to go on and something new to try, bowling twice in a while doesn't really seem as fun the second time.

Ok so one night I had a middle school dance the the most unexpected thing happened, s 8th grade girl that I kinda knew took me and danced with me,(btw I'm in 7th grade) we pretty much danced all night and were just friends, but now I think I like her and idk what to do we text and stuff and Idk

that's really awesome to hear man, it sounds like she knew that you would be a fun person to spend time with and she pulled you out to dance with you. What I would suggest doing now is asking her to hang out, either at school or after school. The longer you wait and don't act on it the more she's going to put that memory deeper into her mind and forget about it and assume that nothing will happen from it.

How do I get recognition from highschool? I mean I'm not a loner or popular just I want more recognition from the ladies so that way I have more options for me to pick out and flirt with. So far I have a freshman and a junior I have chances with. I gotta that pussy crop you know? Jk, but seriously

a good way to meet more girls is to find more girls to be your friend. if you can befriend different girls in your class then they will introduce you to more of their friends along the way and you can kind of gross hack meeting people that way. The key to all of it is to be friendly to people all around you and to just welcome them into your world.

My crush usually rides a bike home after school and you told me that I should ask her to walk to get to know her. How do I solve this situation? I don't own a bike and plus I wouldn't buy a bike just to ride with her. To walk after school with a girl, do you ask her the same day or ask in advance?

in that case since she has a bike I would probably ask her to maybe hang out after school for a little bit. Try talking to her outside of school or maybe going to a place we can get food near by the school so that she can change her bike and hang out for a while before riding home. Or if she doesn't live that far from you you can always walk with her while she walks her bike along side.
